West Indies batting is heavily dependent on Chanderpaul, Sarwan, Gayle, and Bravo. But out of all the players, I think Chris Gayle has the biggest role to play. West Indies team often wins games because of the cameos Gayle provides time after time. But what will happen after Gayle retires or gets injured?
I believe last time West Indies played a tournament without Chris Gayle was in the ICC Champions Trophy 2009. The team lost all the games. Before that series, West Indies got whitewashed to Bangladesh. It shows that without Chris Gayle, West Indies can be a very ordinary team.
Gayle is currently 30 years old, which means he should be able to play for at least 5 more years. West Indies seriously needs to start looking for new players who can be a candidate in being a suitable replacement for Chris Gayle.
